There something funny with tar under ISC 2.2.  Whenever I use
tar -cv , the "verify" report is sent to the standard output.
Under other UNIXs, it goes to standard error.   This has disastrous
consequences if you try  something like

   tar -cvf - | compress -c > archive.tar.Z

Is this behavior present in other SysV 3.2 ?
